TUATHA DE DANANN AND THE FALLEN ANGELS

Having recently started reading up on the ancient Kings of Ireland, the Tuatha de Danaann, I am struck by the similarity in their story, and they biblical story of the Fallen Angels.

I am currently working on a series of vids, and I had to research the Fallen Angels for part one.

The Tuatha de Danann, were one of the great ancient tribes of Ireland. The important manuscript 'The Annals of the Four Masters', records that they ruled Ireland from 1897 B.C. to 1700 B.C.

The Fallen Angels according to the book of Enoch fell to earth on Mount Hermon in Northern Israel.

The Tuatha de Danann after landing in Ireland, emerged from a great mist. Although it was later said it was because they burned the boats they landed in, apparently so that they would settle in Ireland.

The Fallen Angels had great skills, and according to the book of Enoch taught men the following.

"And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl, taught astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun, and Sariêl the course of the moon.

The Annals of Irish History record that the Tuatha de Danann had great skills, they were a civilised and cultured people. The new skills and traditions that they introduced into Ireland were held in high regard by the peoples they conquered. They had four great treasures (or talismans) that demonstrated their skills. The first was the 'Stone of Fal' which would scream when a true King of Ireland stood on it. It was later placed on the Hill of Tara, the seat of the High-Kings of Ireland. The second was the 'Magic Sword of Nuadha', which was capable of inflicting only mortal blows when used. The third was the 'sling-shot of the Sun God Lugh', famed for its accuracy when used. The final treasure was the 'Cauldron of Daghda' from which an endless supply of food issued.

The Children of the Fallen Angels were called the Nelphilim, and were great warriors, and the Giants of Old!

The Danann were also said to be great warriors and Giants.

The Fallen Angels landed on Mount Hermon.

The name given to Kings in Ancient Ireland was HEREMON!

The people who were the first inhabitants of the area around Mount Hermon were the Canaanites, who were the descendants of Canaan, son of Noah.

Danann/Canaan!!!! A lot of similarities!

The Canaanites worshiped the Goddess Ashtoreth, who was derived from the Babylonian Goddess Ishtar. The Danaans worshiped the Goddess Danu. Who is said to have derived from Ishtar!

More about the Tuatha de Danann

The Tuatha de Danann won the inevitable battle with the Fir Bolg but, out of respect for the manner in which they had fought, they allowed the Fir Bolg to remain in Connaught while the victors ruled the rest of Ireland.

The original leader of the Tuatha was Nuada but, having lost an arm in battle it was decreed that he could not rightly be king. That honour went to Breas, a tribesman of Fomorian descent. His seven year rule was not a happy one however, and he was ousted by his people who had become disenchanted with hunger and dissent. Nuada was installed as King, resplendent with his replacement arm made from silver.

Breas raised an army of Fomorians based in the Hebrides and they battled with Nuada at Moytura in County Sligo. The Tuatha again prevailed and the power of the Fomorians was broken forever. The victory had cost the Tuatha their King as Nuadha had died in the battle. A hero of the conflict named Lugh was instated as the new King of Ireland.

The grandsons of the next King, Daghda, ruled during the invasion by the mighty Melesians. The Tuatha de Danann were defeated and consigned to mythology. Legend has it that they were allowed to stay in Ireland, but only underground. Thus they became the bearers of the fairies of Ireland, consigned to the underworld where they became known as 'Aes sidhe' (the people of the mound - fairy mounds).

The Melesians used the name of one of the Tuatha de Danann gods, Eriu, as the name of their new kingdom. Eriu or Eire is still used in modern times as the name of Ireland.

End Note:

There seems to be a concerted effort by some people to re-write Irish History, and two authors in particular seem to have went to great lengths to present as fact, that the Tuatha de Danann were descendants of the Israeli Tribe of Dan! This is simply not true, and there is not one jot of evidence to back these claims up.

The authors are Yair Davidy & Herbert Armstrong. The Tuatha de Danann arrived in Ireland C. 1897 BC. The biblical Dan is recorded in Genesis as being born in 1737 BC! So it is simply not possible that the Danaans came from the Tribe of Dan!

Hi Sandra,Fair play to ya on all the time & energy you've invested in putting together such a fantastic, comprehensive blog spot.I wish I could just this as a message to you, as it isn't entirely related to the topics you've covered.However, it is definitely in the same spirit of 'scratching the surface' to find the truth.First question is:1. To your knowledge, *were* the Tuatha Dé Danann actually 'Fallen' Angels?? As distinct from those who joined with Lucipher???Or were they those who were "...not so bad that they were condemned to the flames of hell, but not so good that they were allowed to remain in Paradise..." Now that's not exactly an exact quote, but it's as accurate as I can remember from some source somewhere. It struck a chord. I trust things like that.Thing is...from looking at life from many different perspectives, analysing patterns in nature, maths, science, psychology, and just *life*, I try to make SOME form of sense behind the lunacy of this world.And the more and more I think about it, the only thing that makes sense, and seems consistent with so many patterns in life, is the stupid old possible belief of a nice simple God, Heaven, Angels, Hell, Demons etc.I know it's vastly, infinitely more complicated than that in all its many-layered intricacies, but, that being said, are we all, every human being I mean,...here because we 'stepped aside' and did nothing during the great rebellion of Satan?? If or when he/it and the whole biblical depiction of such a terribly crude, but admittedly convenient/plausible scenario took place???Are we really here because we've either chosen to come here voluntarily, or because we must, in order to win our brownie points back for salvation and all the candy floss you can eat??Do we go through life after life after life, continuously re-incarnating in order to better perfect and mature our souls so as to be re-admitted???And of course, is it because, we were in fact, those same angels who stood aside, not taking either side in the titanic struggle for supremacy, and were cast to this twilight existence of contrasting misery & suffering with momentary flashes of beauty, love and bliss???Okay....the ramblings of a restlessly searching mind!Thanks for any or all replies you make. :)Bless!!

Thanks for the feed back Hugh. Who really knows, the powers that be have re-written history to a point where we have to trawl through it, and use our imaginations and discernment to try and establish the truth. Im always mindful that history is recorded by the victors, and the victors always demonise those they have defeated, so who knows the truth of the Tuatha De Danann.

The Tuatha De Dannan went east from the northern most Atlantean Island as the waters rose and divided the once huge continent into three islands and later submerged even those. At that time there were still the higher points that had been mountian tops showing as three islands.

The northmost was almost a straight line to the isles in the eastwhich had been the mountain tops where the Tuatha De Dannan had gathered for their RITUALS.

There are archaeolgical findings that show some rock formations that are found ONLY in the Kaatskills and northerne America as well as parts of the now British Isles and Norway!

These natural huge rocks are partialy buried and too old to count but found no where else on this earth.

This shows, IMV, that the Tuatha De Dannan trekked across those lands before they were submerged in the rising waters all the way to northeren European lands as well as some Euro Tribes trekked west to the mountain tops that were the Sacred places of the Tuatha De Dannan who are DRUIDS who raised Sacred places in GROVES all over Europe over several thousand years during which time a HIGH DRUID called ISSA went all over the world healing and teaching arts, math, irrigation, writing (as in Sumerian Cunieform,) metalworking, meditation, herbs and healing, he also HEALED many he encountered in his travels while he wore a CROWN of RED ROSES !

It is from this real history that the many cultures have created thier Savior god healer that filtered down to many cultural myths including the jesus myth.

This is also why the TRUTH of the Tuatha De Dannan has been twisted and regurgitated to fit what the WAR GODS need the populations to believe about our individual tribal histories as well as the disinfo that all wisdom originated in the Middle East so as to protect the TRUE history of those very WAR GODS

Those have always been ANTI - WHITE, but thats a whole other topic which has been effectively proven by many illustrious researchers.

Sophia, I only check comments awaiting approval about once a week, you left your comment on the 1st of Feb, it was approved today the 3rd! Clearly you think I have nothing better to do than check comments on my blogs every 2 seconds!Maybe you should also read my blog on those that re-write Irish history. http://truthseeker444.blogspot.com/2011/07/yair-davidy-and-herbert-armstrong.htmlThanks for your input, interesting info, many apologises that I did not jump to it and approve the second you posted, Im looking into getting an alarm system on my lap top, that will make a noise like a fire engine every time someone leaves a comment, so as such a grave oversight never happens again!!!!!

You too, seem to have made errors in your claims. You should read a bit more about the few texts available on these people (Gods). The Fomoire where the evil giants, not the Tuatha.Your interest in the Tuatha is admirable and your comparisons interesting but you seem biased and again using the old Christian tool (bad habit) to demonize other Pagan beliefs. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the Christ. I am actually a Roman Catholic. The Tuatha are the gods and Godesses of the Irish Pagan population. If you look it up St-Brigitte is actually the Godess Bridgid, a Tuatha De Dannan, so I guess they where not so evil after all! Look up "The battle of Moytura" to get more accurate info.

Where have I demonized the Tuatha? I made comparisons, I have not in any way demonized them, on the contrary, I wrote of their great skills. You assume to much, I maybe familiar with the bible, I am not a Christian.....or even close!As for the Goddess, I made this video in homage to her a few years ago! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lbZpKU_6rA
